Padres Buy at Deadline: Add Robbie Ray, Casey Mize
San Diego bolsters its rotation at the trade deadline, acquiring two top starters while holding onto its bullpen core and key position players.
The San Diego Padres were active buyers at the 2026 MLB Trade Deadline, acquiring starting pitchers Robbie Ray from the San Francisco Giants and Casey Mize. GM A.J. Preller resisted pressure to trade closer Mason Miller or reliever Adrian Morejon, both of whom drew significant interest. First baseman Ty France, who has 16 home runs and a .288 average, was also rumored to be available but was ultimately retained. The Padres chose to add rotation depth rather than sell off expiring contracts or replenish their farm system.
